Isaiah’s Death
Re: your comment. “The Jews stretched Isaiah between two horses and sawed him in half.” I just read this and was curious how you found this out. Is it mentioned in the Bible? If yes then could you please send me the bible verse?

Neither Jew Nor Gentile
I read much of your material on the 12 tribes of Jews. Some of us have Jewish blood which we were not aware of. Some were raised Christian and yet have discovered Jewish ancestors. Some of these ancestors may have come from the original 12 tribes and some may have been converts. I am pretty sure I am one of these, way way back. So many of us are “partly Jewish” even though we are fully Christian.
And my half-Jewish husband, who was also “born again”, is part of the Church already in Heaven, even though he knew positively of his Jewish roots and even of which tribes his ancestors came from (Judah and Levi). I would assume that he is not among the “tribes of Israel” who will be identified in the last days?

Tithing: Gratitude Or Greed?
My biggest struggle with tithing is that at the very last moment when I go to hit the ‘pay’ button, I am flooded with thoughts of the blessings that could return to me. Guilt follows immediately, because my heart is no longer in the correct place for giving with an attitude of gratitude – it has now become an attitude of greed. I end up not paying anything in an effort not to be caught in giving with a greedy heart. I have set up automatic tithing payments to causes that I truly believe have God at their focus, but I wonder if it’s okay to tithe through automatic payments each month, or have I just replaced one sinful attitude (greed) with another (a separation from the tithe where I feel nothing). Can you help?
